The 25th of Rajab. A day that will whistle forever in woe; that will scream eternally in sorrow; that will ache in our hearts perpetually in affliction, agony and anguish. Yes, upon us today is the 1,220th anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Moussa al-Kazim (A.S.), the 7th Imam of we Jaafari Shi’a; the Original Dean of the Wrongly Accused and Unjustly Imprisoned; the Behind Bars Breaker of Bullies; Jihadi General of the Jailed; the Marshall of the Mewed; the Sentinel of the Shackled; the Reserved Renegade; the Tenderhearted Toppler of Tyrants; the Endurer of Entropy; the Zen Zulfiqar. Indeed, of all his names, from Al-Sabir (the Patient) to Al-Zahir (the Brilliant), Al-Sayyed (the Master) to Al-Wafi (the Faithful), Abdul Saleh (the Most Pious of Worshipers) to Al-Amin (the Trusted One), Qa’id al-Askar (Commander of the Troops) to Dhou al-Nafs al-Zakiyya (the Pure-Souled One) to Bab al-Hawa’ijj (the Gate of Needs), Al-Kazim (the Restrained/the One Who Restrains His Fury) is most fitting for no matter how much oppression he was confronted with, never did he get frazzled; never was he vexed; never did his temper flare. And as Allamah Sayyed Muhammad Hussein Tabataba’i (R.A.) notes on page 205 of his “Shi’ite Islam”, Al-Kazim (A.S.) lived under Abbasid despots Mansour (L.A.), Hadi (L.A.), Mahdi (L.A.) and Haroun al-Rashid (L.A.) To somehow find a way to cope with not one, not two, not three, but FOUR dictators in a single lifetime was a feat in and of itself, truly.

The 13th of Rajab, one of the holiest dates on the Islamic Calendar alongside Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Mawlid al-Nabi and Ashoura, has passed. Imam Ali (A.S.), the brother of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W.); the one who is to Rasoulallah (S.A.W.W.) like Haroon (A.S.) was to Moussa (A.S.); the Mawla of all Muslims; the Gate to the City Of Knowledge; Asadullah; Al-Haydar; Al-Karrar; the Sole Standard-Bearer of Islam; the one, true Amir al-Mou’mineen is now 1,408 years old. Brightest, sweetest, loveliest and happiest of happy birthdays, o’ Commander of the Faithful (A.S.)!

We could speak of his unique position in all of history as the lone individual – as in, nobody before him and nobody after him – born inside the Kaaba. The crack in the Sublime Black Stone Of Heaven from the burst of light that emitted from his mother Fatima bint Asad (A.S.) upon giving birth to him remains to this day–despite all attempts by the Zio-Imperialist-owned House of Saud to eradicate the history of Ahlul Bayt (A.S.) We could speak of his philosophical prowess and unmatched erudition, qualities that gave rise to the Muʿtazilites. At the opposite end of the spectrum, we could speak of his mystifying poetry and intense gnosis – derived directly from knowledge of the Unseen gained from Muhammad al-Moustafa (S.A.W.W.) – that runs through the spiritual DNA of every Sufi tariqah on Earth. We could speak of the principles of his government that laid the groundwork for all human-rights-based political systems in the world today. We could speak of his piety, his humbleness, his courage, his eloquence, his ferocity, his love for the oppressed and his thwarting of the oppressors.

But all of this and more can, should and must be read elsewhere in the scholarly works written by far more capable, qualified and exceptional writers than yours truly. Allamah Baqir Shareef al-Qurashi’s “The Life Of Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib”, Lucknow Luminary Mufti Ja’far Husayn’s “Biography Of Imam Ali Bin Abi Talib”and Lebanese-Christian George Jordac’s masterpiece, “The Voice Of Human Justice”, come to mind immediately. Instead, since our Mission Statement says that our purpose is to “increase Anti-Parasitic awareness in all peoples of the world, Muslims especially”, that’s what we will be tackling today: The unapologetic, colder-than-ice, dazzling and mighty Anti-Parasitism of Imam Ali (A.S.)

This past weekend marked the 1,208th birthday of Imam Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Moussa al-Jawad (A.S.), the 9th Imam in the Jaafari Shi’a tradition and the youngest of the Infallibles (A.S.), with his life only lasting 25 years before he was martyred. Known also as Al-Taqi (the pious), Al-Qani and Al-Radhi (the content and the satisfied, as in content/satisfied solely with ALLAH [SWT]), Al-Zaki (the pure) and Bab al-Mourad (the Gate of Hopes and Dreams), the Imam (A.S.) was, as Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Revolution, said on June 13th, 2011, “the epitome of fighting falsehood. He strove for the rule of ALLAH (SWT). He fought for ALLAH (SWT) and the Holy Quran. He did not fear any power. He was in fact the leader, role model and forerunner of the movement followed by the entire Iranian nation today.” Which makes his life all the more important to study. Moreover, Sayyed Khamenei said in a May 15th, 1981 sermon that Imam al-Taqi (A.S.) “was a sign and symbol of resistance; a great man who fought against the pretentious and hypocritical influence of the Abbasid caliph Ma’moun and he never withdrew an inch. He endured all the arduous conditions, while employing every possible means to fight against falsehood.” It is this exemplification of truth in which we derive our analysis that Imam Jawad (A.S.) was also a reflection of Jesus Christ (A.S.), who is described by ALLAH (SWT) as His Word in the Holy Qur’an (3:45 and 4:171). And what is His Word but truth?

May the peace, blessings and mercy of ALLAH al-Mousawwir (SWT) be upon the Ummah today for the 1,190th birth anniversary of Imam Ali al-Hadi, also known as Imam al-Naqi and Abou al-Hassan III (A.S.), among other titles. The 10th Imam of we Jaafari Shi’a and a figure adored by Muslims the world over for his upright character, generosity, wit, intelligence, insight, humbleness and hatred for oppression, the son of Imam Jawad (A.S.) was a Struggler of Strugglers whose defiance of despots and challenges of tyrants were as boundless as his Qur’anic knowledge and Godwariness.

Abou al-Hassan (A.S.) was like a Dawah machine, arguably bringing more people into the warm embrace of Al-Khalil (SWT) than anyone in Ahlul Bayt (A.S.) outside of the Holy Prophet Muhammad al-Moustafa (S.A.W.W.) and Imam Ali al-Karrar (A.S.) The reason for this was because, unbeknownst to many, Imam al-Naqi (A.S.) was a highly gifted polyglot! He spoke Farsi, Hindi, Russian, Bulgarian and several other Slavic dialects, not to mention several variations of Arabic as well as the ancient language of Aramaic. It was the last of those that gave him a great deal of credibility among Christians, theologians especially, and through his love of Christ (A.S.) and eloquent discourses on the Messiah’s deeds and miracles by ALLAH’s (SWT) leave, he led many to Islam.

No, I ain’t observing, let alone celebrating no damn International Women’s Day. What the hell?! Do I look like the type of individual to internalize anything pumped out by Chaim and Chaim Inc. along with its subsidiaries, Shlomo and Shlomo LLC as well as Esther and Esther LLLP? Didn’t think so! Yes brethren, forgive me off rip for bursting your bubbles, and negative, this isn’t a knock on anyone who strategically took advantage of this less-than-auspicious occasion to expose Saudi Arabia and the Takfiriyeen, or highlight the gorgeousness and might of the women of the Resistance Axis–in fact, I tip my hat to anyone who did–but International Women’s Day isn’t what we’ve been told it is. This “holiday” came from a chauvinistic Jew, was spread by Jews and their Shabbos Goy secular extremist “comrades”, and then codified as a national observance by the Judeo-Bolshevik Soviet Union. And due to these facts, it isn’t something that Mouqawamists of true liberationist-spiritual persuasion, be it one which stems from Islam or Eastern Christianity, should be granting any credence to.

No Martyrs Gallery. No Pantheon of Heroes. No Fortress of Legends. And no Hall of Revolutionaries would be complete without Sayyeda Amina Haydar al-Sadr (R.A.), known to many as Shahida Bint al-Houda. She was born on this day 82 years ago in the holy Iraqi city of Kazimiyeh, under the illuminated minarets of the shrine of her great ancestor Imam Moussa al-Kazim (A.S.), where she would visit often in her adult days to pray and meditate. She was named after the Holy Prophet Muhammad’s (S.A.W.W.) mother because her father, Ayatollah Sayyed Haydar al-Sadr (R.A.), a profound Islamic authority and one of the intellectual architects of the 1920 Great Iraqi Revolution of 1920 against the British colonizers, intended for her to be a mother of a pivotal movement–man, was he right! He died when she was only two years old.

It was her mother Umm Isma’il (R.A.), the daughter of Ayatollah Sheikh Muhammad Rida al-Yassin (R.A.), and her brother, Ayatollah Sayyed Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr (R.A.), the “twin of her soul” as she called him and Iraq’s greatest Martyr in the modern age, who would teach her the religion of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W.) from the moment their father passed. She was incandescently bright and showed an otherworldly talent for writing–which only expanded as she got older–along with abyssal Islamic insight. She loved to read as well, drawing on the commandment of Rasoulallah (S.A.W.W.) to read and deepen the knowledge-well at every turn. The little bit of pocket money that she was allotted every month was spent on books.

It was on this day 35 years ago that Sheikh Ragheb Harb (R.A.) was assassinated by ‘Israel’ and it was also on this day, 27 years ago, that Sayyed Abbas Moussawi (R.A.) was murdered by the same genocidal, illegitimate, demonic entity. This day also represents Hizbullah’s official birthday, as it was on this day 34 years ago that Hizbullah declared its existence to the planet with its “Open Letter To The Oppressed In Lebanon and The World”.

The whole world is celebrating today. The whole revolutionary, Islamic Liberationist, Counter-Hegemonic, Anti-Zionist, Anti-Imperialist, Anti-Parasitic and independent world, that is. Because 40 years ago at this very second, Ayatollah Sayyed Ruhollah Khomeini (R.A.), the Imam of the Islamic Revolution, declared the end of Shah Pahlavi’s (L.A.) tyrannical regime and announced a new era for Iran–one that would not be beholden to any global power. Not Western. Nor Eastern. It would be the Muhammadi-Husseini way that would reign supreme.

The law of the Divine (SWT). Not the law of man. The Holy Qur’an, the Sunnah, Ahlul Bayt (A.S.), the Ahadith and the martyred Mouqawamist Ulema (R.A.) would be the guiding lights which would shine into the void until the void became no more. Not any of the relics left behind by the colonialists. The bacilli of Westoxification and Tahwid [Judaization] would be marvelously supplanted by Tawhid. From his prayer rug, armed with nothing but his intellect, a Thawrawi spark that ignited a blaze in millions of his countrymen and a love for Islam bigger than the combined size of all 51 galaxies in the Local Group, Imam Khomeini (R.A.) laid waste to nearly three decades of Zio-American hegemony and two and a half millennia of despotic, feudalistic rule that had placed the Iranian nation in manacles.
